Irrigation Repairs Atlanta

Getting ready to go on vacation? Thanksgiving holidays are just around the corner. If you are planning to visit with family out of town, you need to make sure your irrigation system is working properly while you are gone. For irrigation system repairs in Atlanta, it is important to get a thorough walk-thru and inspection from your irrigation repair company.

Irrigation Systems Atlanta-Winterization

While most irrigation system pipes should be below the frost line in Georgia, it is still important to have your irrigation system winterized because you never know what kind of winter we are going to have here in Georgia. Particularly important are you valves because while they are underground they are still exposed and those connection points have a tendency to be the first area of breaks after a cold winter.

When your searching for an irrigation repair company, ask about warranties on work they are performing and their level of experience. Anybody can throw pipe in a truck and buy supplies at home improvement stores and call themselves doing irrigation. My company is a member of the Irrigation Association, Georgia Green Industry Association, Hunter Silver Preferred Contractor, Rainbird Select Contractor as well as has over 10 years experience in installation, design and repair of irrigation systems throughout northern Georgia. Don't be fooled - call a real expert first.

We completed our new irrigation system installation in McDonough yesterday and the newbie learned a little about "pressure" and "flow" and how they relate to an irrigation system. Upon completion of the installation, our guys found that we had no "flow". Flow is the actual water flowing through the pipes. The odd thing was we had adequate pressure (the force at which the water should flow) but no flow and that is virtually impossible. The only way this can happen is if there is a blockage somewhere. Our guys found it at the water meter and our customer is on her way to a beautiful landscape!

With the cooler temps around the corner, many of us are hoping that the beautiful Georgia fall is on its way. Now is the time to consider getting an irrigation maintenance agreement where for a flat annual fee your irrigation system will be shut-down properly and started up properly as well as checked on for any issues. If you've never considered an irrigation maintenance agreement, there's no time like the present. Like changing the oil in your car, it will give your irrigation system more longevity.

Proper design (pipe size, head nozzles, etc.) by your irrigation company is essential. It's great if you have an irrigation system to water your lawn but not great if it's watering while it's raining or right after it stopped raining. It's also not good if you don't have proper coverage by your irrigation system which will result in brown or missed spots. Make sure you are getting what you need from your irrigation system and that you are able to water efficiently.

It is important that your irrigation repair technician has some knowledge of the turf and plants you wish to you water with your lawn sprinkler system. The reason for this is so that if you are not using an ET based automatic controller, like Rainbird's ESP-SMT, proper watering times can be set. Did you know over 70% of people OVERwater there landscape?

Ask for sprinkler heads with check valves in them. Why? They prevent water from draining out of the system at the lowest sprinkler which eliminates erosion and runoff. Not to mention, they help keep a little more water in your irrigation lines which therefore saves you $$$$.

Another situation that is just so crazy we have to share it with you. Our customer has an irrigation system in McDonough. When it was installed it was installed without a separate irrigation shut. So the's having a pool put it...they hit one of the irrigation lines and it springs an irrigation system leak - A Big leak. They have to shut all of the water off completely to the house to just turn off the irrigation leak itself.
